You forced me to give you my word. I never have been and I never will be bound by anything I don’t do of my own free will.

You think you know something, don't you? You think you're the clever little girl who knows something. There's so much you don't know, so much. What do you know, really? You're just an ordinary little girl, living in an ordinary little town. You wake up every morning of your life and you know perfectly well that there's nothing in the world to trouble you. You go through your ordinary little day, and at night you sleep your untroubled ordinary little sleep, filled with peaceful stupid dreams. And I brought you nightmares.

SHADOW OF A DOUBT (1943) dir. Alfred Hitchcock

I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me.

Don't you love me? - That's the tough part of it, but it'll pass. Those things do, in time. And there's one other thing—I loved him more.

I want things. A lot of things. Big things. I don't wanna be afraid of life or anything else. I want a guy with spirit and guts. A guy who can laugh at anything, who'll do anything. A guy who can kick over the traces and win the world for me.

GUN CRAZY 1950, dir. Joseph H. Lewis

Every time I had a chance to find out [the answer]… somebody's pushed me, pulled the whole thing out from under me. Oh, it's a blue, sick world, Rip. I'm tired of it, and tired of being tired.

LIZABETH SCOTT as Coral "Dusty" Chandler in DEAD RECKONING (1947) dir. John Cromwell

When I think of all those awful people you come in contact with—downright criminals—I get scared. - Oh, there's nothing so different about them. After all, crime is only a left-handed form of human endeavor.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I understood as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not charity, I am become a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faiths so that I could remove mountains and have not charity... I am nothing.

ODD MAN OUT 1947, dir. Carol Reed

What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen a gun before? What do you want me to do, count three like they do in the movies? THE BIG SLEEP (1946) dir. Howard Hawks
